The Indian national anthem, "Jana Gana Mana," has an official duration of approximately 52 seconds when sung according to the prescribed rhythm. However, there's some flexibility - the official regulation states it should be between 48 to 52 seconds. This timing was standardized to maintain the dignity and proper rhythm of the anthem. When the orchestra version is played (without singing), it's typically around 52 seconds as well. It's interesting that the anthem actually has 5 stanzas in the original Bengali poem by Tagore, but only the first stanza is adopted as the national anthem.
